Mytch:Being patriotic is like being religious. If you want to be, that's great. If you go around trying to shame other people for not being as patriotic as you, then you're an arsehole.

"Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one and it's fine to be proud of it, but please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around... and PLEASE don't try to shove it down my child's throat."

downstairs:Meh. While I don't care about Kris Jenner at all, these "required" tributes are getting a little out of hand. And while I didn't watch NBC today (and never watch morning shows)... I'm pretty damn sure they mentioned 9/11 many other times.

This right here.

I listened to a California radio station earlier and they pointed it out, too, as in "wow, how dare they disrespect the victims!?"I'm guessing people are also keeping score which one of their facebookies shares a picture of the Trade Center or the Stars and Stripes, and which ones are not, you know, so they can identify those who do not love our country.Because that's how you know who is a true American. Just like the magnetic yellow ribbons show who really supports the troops.

Aww, how sweet of you! How'd you know my birthday's tomorrow? Was it all those eagles crying "Never forget!" on September 11?

/I've stopped telling people my birthday is September 12th. Now I just say (in all mock seriousness), "It's the day after 9/11." I always get a reaction, ala "OMG... the most tragic day in history! You poor thing!"//Sadly, the reaction has never been: "Grrl, let me buy you a nice beer!"

Ow! That was my feelings!:Mytch: Being patriotic is like being religious. If you want to be, that's great. If you go around trying to shame other people for not being as patriotic as you, then you're an arsehole.

Shut up, you commie-hippie![img833.imageshack.us image 341x393]

That outfit is pretty much everything the US Flag Code says not to do. What a disrespectful shiatbag.

Mugato:I'm against breast implants slightly more than I'm against the attacks on 9/11.

I am against using 9/11, Bin Laden, natural disasters, the troops, children etc. for ratings or political points. When was the last time we had a moment of silence for Pearl Harbor, Wake Island, Bataan Death March, Galveston Hurricane 1900, Texas City Esplosion 1947, Katrina , OKC, the USS Cole, African Embassies, Fort Hood, Beruit Airport 83 etc.
